Taster

Nose: Creamy, fragrant. White peaches, mirabelles. Vanilla flan. Crushed rush. Aniseed lollipop. Develops on mint toffee notes.

Palate: Brisk, fizzy. Entices tastebuds in the most active way. Mint toffee again and a major spicy outburst.

Finish: Dry, spicy, nutty.

Comment: A wake up call dram for those who like action on the tongue. A classic bourbon maturation which outlines a buoyant character.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: There's nothing here. Watery in colour, watery in aroma. Maybe some peanut?

Palate: Guess what? Light. The only thing to tell you it's not water is the heat of the alcohol.

Finish: Huh?

Comment: At least the name is accurate.
